Why are rights given to us by birth but taken away if we commit a crime

History
1 answer:
bekas [8.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Rights by their nature cannot be taken away. Every human has Human Rights regardless of the situation or circumstances surrounding him.

Rights can be infringed or denied, but this does not mean they cease to exist. It means only that whoever infringed those rights has committed a crime against the victim. The example of slavery serves. The slave has a right to life, property, and self-defense. To require him to serve at the pleasure of a master with the power of torture and life or death is to commit a crime against the slave. The crime is especially egregious because the slave has no choice in any decisions relating to his own life, property, and defense.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a U.S. federal law designed to ensure the equal participation of minorities, especially African Americans, in US elections.

Specifically, it abolished discriminatory illiteracy tests for potential voters, banned Gerrymandering if it discriminated against minorities, centralized federal voter registration in areas where less than 50% of the population were registered voters, and gave the U.S. Department of Justice various control over the Electoral law in areas where African Americans make up more than five percent of the population.

The debates surrounding the Voting Rights Act coincide with the culmination of the civil rights movement and the Selma-to-Montgomery marches. Martin Luther King, the then leading African-American civil rights activist, already called for such a law at a meeting with President Lyndon B. Johnson in December 1964. The president was positive about the project, but King said that such a law could not be implemented politically so shortly after the Civil Rights Act to end segregation. Johnson, who was recently re-elected with an overwhelming majority, initially wanted to focus on other areas such as poverty reduction and health care in his Great Society social reform reform project. After the events in Selma, however, he changed his attitude and assured King that he wanted to enforce the electoral law as soon as possible.  

The House of Representatives passed the law on August 3, 1965 and the Senate on August 4. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed it on August 6 at a ceremony at the Capitol, which was attended by numerous African-American civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King.

How did the Northwest Ordinance influence the expansion of the United
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

D. It outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territory.

Explanation:

The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 both encouraged settlement in the United States of America.

On the 20th of May, 1785 the United States Congress of the Confederation adopted the Land Ordinance of 1785. The Land Ordinance of 1785 enabled settlers in the underdeveloped west of the United States of America to purchase title to farmlands due to the fact that US Congress could not generate revenue through direct taxation.

Also, the United States Congress of the Confederation adopted and enacted the Northwest Ordinance on the 13th of July, 1787 which allowed new states to join the union from the Northwest Territory, as well as listing the bill of rights guaranteed.

In Art 6 of the Northwest Ordinance, it was stated that there shall be no more slavery or involuntary servitude in the Northwest Territory.  

<em>Hence, the Northwest Ordinance influenced the expansion of the United States of America because it outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territory and protected civil liberties or freedom such as habeas corpus, due process, freedom of religion, trial by jury, etc.</em>
